Hey all, I will be starting my next ar build shortly and have been really heavily tempted to do a precision 6.5 Grendel build. I’m in southeastern PA though, and I can’t seem to find much information on any ranges around here that have ranges long enough for me to grow into as I progress with this rifle. I haven’t started the build yet, and depending on what I hear it may not come to fruition, but I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any good ranges that stretch out a good bit for it to be worth it to make this build happen. Anything in certain parts of Jersey as well as Delaware and Maryland could work too, although in sure I’d have to get a CCW in said state to be able to transport rifles to these ranges

Any help is appreciated, I definitely don’t want to spend all this money on a build just to not use it to its full potential

Hello, I recently ordered a pump shotgun to an FFL dealer around the Philly area (Grease Tactical). I called them once my gun shipped and they claimed that I would not be able to pick up my shotgun (which is not restricted in NY), with a NY license. What I would have to do according to the FFL, would be to apply for some sort of state ID to just pick it up. Is anyone able to verify this?

A buddy of mine told me about an event a PA range is having.

Both he and I have out NJ FID.

I would likento bring my Rifle.

Am I able to travel and use my rifle in PA?

Howdy, I'm wondering if PA state employees can carry firearms at work, specifically at liquor stores. I am aware of the typical restricted places (courthouse, schools, hospitals, etc.) but coworkers seem to believe state-ran retail stores are included. My research into the law and PLCB employee handbook says otherwise.

What say you?

I'm probably going to have to follow up with my local sheriff's office on this, but I was hoping to get a idea of how I should handle retrieving my guns that are currently out of state. (I am a PA resident and everyone involved is of age and allowed to possess firearms)

I moved to PA a couple years ago, but left my guns with my dad back home. I can't travel back any time soon to get them, so I'm trying to see if my sister can fly them over for me when she comes to visit in a few months.

If the guns are technically mine, do I still need to officially transfer them from my sister's possession? (I know it would have to be in the presence of a sheriff/FFL if so) Will it matter that she's not a PA resident?

Also, does anyone know if my sister will get any grief from TSA/the airline for checking a firearm only one way?

i pay rent for an apartment in pa, technically my permanent address is still in my home state. any advice on how to proceed with buying a handgun? i’m F20 and don’t come from a gun-owning family, so im looking for guidance.

In anyone's experience, how long did it take to get approved after submitting application through permitium?

Hello I’m shipping a defective gun back to the manufacture for warranty work , they provided me a FedEx shipping label , I never shipped a gun before let alone one back to the manufacture , what do I need to do to not run into any legal troubles and where can I get a box to ship it , they said not to ship it in the box it came with. They also want me to ship it with one empty mag

Will it be a blue trifecta or is there a red chamber to hold them back a bit?

I have just bought a rifle (long rifle) for the first time (I’m 20 years old, with no criminal record whatsoever) I was told the background check could take up to 10 days, which I don’t understand because I’ve heard most background checks are done within 20-30 minutes, I’m confused as to why the background check would take that long? (Also this is in pa)

I have my LTCF and am wondering if I can carry to the polls.

If you're having a REALLY bad night, please dial 988 and hit option '1'.

If you want to IM, I've got ya, go to: Chat – Veterans Crisis Line

(Please don't let the 'crisis' moniker scare you off)- by all means you can crap talk the hell out of them but all that link will do is have you IM'ing a fellow Vet.

If you say the heck with calling or web browsing and just want to text and crap post that way, I've got ya there too, just text '838255' . Please feel free to share your experience of using that option of talking to a fellow Vet volunteering their time.

Not happy with the above options? Are you a combat vet (like myself) that doesn't want to talk to the same support network that the MOS's who stayed in the FOB/COB/whatever did? I've got your back too.

Call: +18669661020

That'll put you in touch with someone better... experienced with what might be bothering you.

Don't want to call anyone- I've still got your six, just go to: https://health.mil/Military-Health-...h-Center-of-Excellence/Real-Warriors-Campaign

That link will let you IM someone from the combat arms world so at least you'd be talking with someone that understands where you're coming from. 

I can post more links as I find them- dollars to doughnuts, this is going to be a rough week for our vets & I just want to help.

Hello. I tried to buy my son his first gun last night. I did the back ground check and I was denied! I only have two summary Harassment citations. Which are nontraffic... why on earth would it be denied?

Taking wife to Pittsburgh for first time soon. (We just moved to PA from Nevada). What would be some ranges folks can recommend in Pitt area? Doesn’t matter indoor or outdoor in this trip … but it would need to be a place that takes walk ins and not needing a membership or sponsorship.

-=-- update 11/4/2024 thanks all! appreciate it. seems like midwest shooting center is gonna be closest to where we staying and most convenient!

Just moved back home to Warren, I'm familiar with all the "traditional" ranges (though I've not been to any in about 10 years). My time in NC got me into 3 gun, shooting/moving, tactical type stuff, is there anywhere nearby warren or even about an hour away that would facilitate that stuff? Thanks in advance!

Meadville area but willing to drive. Looking to go to out 100yrds at least. Appreciate any suggestions.

I'm interested in competing in a shooting competition and would like to take some classes to train for it. Anyone have any suggestions for ranges that have competition shooting classes for pistols and PCC's near Philadelphia?

I know I can’t bring it to the casino but anyone ever been to the hotel and have an issue? It’s tribal land right what are the rules on that

What's the timeline for getting approval and how long does it take to get in and out for the photo? With kids in school and work, I was hoping to somewhat time it around their winter or Thanksgiving break.

i know there was just someone asking about gifting a pistol to a sibling, and i kind of had the same question but in a different manner. im wondering if i order a pistol from a website and have it shipped to an FFL, can my brother be the one that picks it up and does the paperwork. meaning i never take possesion of the firearm, its transfered directly to him, but ordered by me.

My husband has a 302 on his record. I, on the other hand, have a clean record. I would like to own a gun for my own safety. Do you think my husband’s 302 would prohibit me from keeping a gun in our home and place of business?

I’d still like to take classes and shoot at a range and I know I can rent a gun for that. But I’d like to own my own gun for obvious safety reasons: we own a small retail business in Philadelphia. And as a Jewish woman, I’ve found it even more urgent to protect myself in our current social climate.

Anyone have any experience with this question? I read it could cost thousands to remove a 302 from your record and we can’t afford that and prob can’t afford to call a lawyer for legal advice atm.

Edit:
Thank you everyone for such quick responses. It sounds like it would be worthwhile to seek legal advice as there may be a reasonable work-around for my situation. A consultation fee would certainly be way more affordable than trying to revoke that 302.
Thanks again!!

Looking for a more current update. Can a dual resident purchase firearms to keep in their PA home if their primary residence and DL is NY?

My Husband and I applied for CCW, but mine was approved in 2 days, while his is still processing... We have no priors of any kind.. Now I know they say first come first serve with the application process,but it's been 2 weeks now,and it's still processing... Help..
